Question m.2 SSD cooler or heat sink

[adrhc]

Hi, have an Asus H370-I motherboard which comes with a m.2 SSD passive heat sink - the worst one because it increases the SSD’s temperature with 3C. Now I’m interested in a replacement and I noticed Cryorig Frostbit M.2 SSD Cooler; any opinions about it? Any other ideas about how to cool a m.2 SSD? it’s temperature is about 27C over the outside temperature, meaning 47C at idle.

UPDATE

I use onboard GPU.

As long as it sits under or close to hot GPU, temps are not gonna be any lower, no matter which heat sink. Best you could do is to replace heat transfer pad to something better.

Hello friend, please note that this ADATA solution solves your problem .. it seems interesting ..

I would not bother.
If the supplied heat sink makes things worse, remove it.
Cooling depends on good airflow which can be a problem in a ITX build.
A SSD heats up to the point of throttling when under continuous activity like a antivirus scan. It takes perhaps 30 seconds of such activity.
Normal random I/o should not be impacted.

How hot does your m.2 SSd actually get under use.
My MX500 m.2 SSD idles between 42-44C but has never gone over 55C (while using it to run games for hours).
As long as it isn't throttling I wouldn't bother with a cooler or heatsink, m.2 SSD's are designed to run at higher temps than regular SSD's.
And sadly many SSD heatsink will increase the SSD temp not lower it:

So if you do get one be sure to read plenty of reviews of it and make sure it actually works to lower temps.
